Hi all,

We have renamed the default branch of the  kubernetes/community  repo from  master  to  main , tracked in  kubernetes/community#6290 .

What's happening

The rename will follow the process documented in the  default branch migration guide .

What you need to do

For any PRs open to kubernetes/community:

  • Open PRs will be automatically retargeted by GitHub.
  • Web URLs using  /master/  will be automatically redirected by GitHub.
  • Local clones will need a one-time update:
    git fetch origin
    git checkout main
    git branch -d master
    git remote set-head origin -a
  • Forks — consider updating your fork's default branch name to match.

If you have questions or concerns, please comment on the  tracking issue  or reach out in  #github-management  on Slack.

Cheers,Christoph
